Fucking, Austria Superthread

[major_panic]

Looked at a painting of a cow relieving itself.

Uhm, awesome?

Y'know the funny thing is, Melbourne's full of weird arty stuff like that... sculptures everywhere. It feels like the Docklands were set out by a Mr. Sculptureville Abstract McCrazy.

 

[major_panic]

It's the next step after Kyoto. Get rid of 6am-10am. There goes the morning peak hour, and with it, shitloads of pollution!

Who's with me on this?

"What do we want?!"
"NO MORNINGS!"
"When do we want them?!"
"NEVER!"

Has a certain ring to it...

We figured out Ali's weird sculpture doohickey near Crown is most likely a flower.

We looked around some of the art gallery before they shooed us out. There was some cool stuff there, including various ancient Egyptian and Roman items. When they shooed us out, we were looking through the 17th-18th century European paintings, including the painting I just mentioned - in one corner, you can see a cow relieving itself. It's ... so random.

I also got spectacularly ripped off for water at the art gallery. $3 for a 250mL bottle! COME ON. But I needed something to keep me alive ...

You bring the loudspeaker; I'll start on the banners now. This will be the most memorable protest since ... the Eureka stockade? Except without the whole rebellion component. Unless they try to lengthen mornings. In which case, they die.

Did you see the flame towers at Crown? Those things are amazingly cool. I've seen them emit balls of flame.

$3 for a 250ml water bottle? Damn. That... sucks. And I can't think of anything witty to say about that.

Axver or Maj. Panic: Do either of you have a good version of Please live (preferably Popmart 4th leg)?

Fuck off!

The Sarajevo performance from 23 September 1997 really does own all.

 

[phillyfan26]

Wouldn't Bono's vocals be shit on that, though?

Stuff the Eureka Stockade, we'll go for bigger than the French Revolution. We'll blockade Swanston Street or something, wave a huge red flag just cause it looks cool, and doze on the barricade.

Yeah, I've seen them before. When I first visited Melbourne in 2003, I had a great time watching them. They seem considerably less active these days. No flames while we were there, but we left before it got dark.

Yeah, way to gouge a captive market. Pricks. Lesson learnt: bring your own bottle of water.

Let's just move our rooms to the middle of Swanston Street and stage a sleep-until-11am-a-thon.

The Sarajevo performance is great. The Israel one, from memory, is also pretty good. And that's all I've listened to in terms of Popmart boots.

 

[Axver]

It's easily the most intense, emotional performance of the song ever. No competition.

I always carry a bottle of water around when travelling. I simply refuse to pay for something that is, and should always be, relatively free (relatively cause we do pay utility bills).

Do you think you can send that one my way? It's been my favorite live U2 song for a while thanks to the Sao Paulo and Santiago versions.

Sounds good to me. We should start a group at uni, I'm sure we'd get ridiculous amounts of support.

I forgot to fill my bottle of water before I left.

I thought it still had a decent amount of water in it from Saturday, but no, only a few drops. And warm, of course. I like my water cold. By which I mean, any colder and it would be ice.

 

[major_panic]

I can, no worries, unless Ax has done it already. Did you get the 18min Bad?

It's on its way.

 

[phillyfan26]

No, never got here. Maybe it's too big.

 

[phillyfan26]

It's on its way.

Thanks.

 

[Axver]

I don't doubt it. It would quickly become one of the most popular clubs on campus. We'd be heroes.

Ahh ok. The thing about really cold water for me is that I have fairly sensitive teeth, or gums.

And I'll try sending Bad again, PFan. Seeing as how Ax has sent Please.

 

[phillyfan26]

Axver: what is Bono singing over the end of One Tree Hill that you sent me? It sounds like he's making that all up.

 

[phillyfan26]

Yeah, I'm more curious about that 18 minute Bad than anything.

 

[Axver]

I can, no worries, unless Ax has done it already. Did you get the 18min Bad?

I suspect you mean 16:16 Bad. That's the longest performance of the song; the longest performance of any U2 song ever is the 16:45 version of 40 on 31 January 1985 in Cologne.

 

[Axver]

And I'll try sending Bad again, PFan. Seeing as how Ax has sent Please.

It won't work. I'm pretty sure his e-mail rejects anything over 10MB.

 

[major_panic]

All we need is some free beer and a sausage sizzle, and we've automatically become one of the best groups in the uni.

Man I love sausage sizzles, and their Australianness.
